The absolute state of the Oval Office. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Four pics of the Oval Office showing how it’s festooned with a mess of tacky gold embellishments and curtain swags. Revolting.

For much of 2024, I transcribed the diaries of Edna O’Brien by night and edited our film about her by day. I couldn’t believe it when she died. She seemed capable of willing herself to live forever. Here's to Edna for obsessing us all 💚

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.
